Be careful about these 10 sensitive issues when check amp :

1. Make sure you added ‘amp’ into <html> .It should be look like <html amp lang=”en”>

2. Add a canonical link element like <link rel=”canonical” href=”index.html”>

3. Changed the charset tag. Note that this is different from the ALL-CAPS UTF-8 and AMP is touchy about this.like <meta charset=”utf-8">

4. Add the meta viewport tag like <meta name=”viewport” content=”width=device-width,minimum-scale=1">

5. Never forget to add <script async src=”https://cdn.ampproject.org/v0.js"></script> on head

6. Be aware about css size.AMP never allows css over 50000 bytes

7. Never use any external js cdna except amp library

8. Why you will write inline css?You can not do it on AMP.

9. Do not write any javascript/jquery on AMP

10. AMP does not allow ‘important’ inside tag ‘<style amp-custom>’.There have some more restriction.<a href=”https://www.ampproject.org/docs/guides/responsive/style_pages">See here</a>
